Containers frequently tip over, causing spillage and materials to get strewn throughout streets and neighborhoods. In an effort to assist in the prevention of these situations, the following are suggestions: Bag and tie trash and/or recyclables before placing in barrels This will make clean-up efforts easier should the barrels blow over. Avoid placing trash and/or recycling out on windy days If possible, do not set your trash or recyclables out for collection on windy days. Bag any excessive trash and recyclables that will not fit in your barrel and Burrtec will collect all accumulated bags along with your containers on your next scheduled collection day.
